newsmaker

/ˈnuzˌmeɪkɝ/ noun

One whose actions make the headlines of news reports; one who affects the course of public discourse.

Word Origin A newsmaker is someone who makes news. 'News' itself comes from Old English 'niwe' (new) with the plural -s, originally meaning 'new things'. 'Maker' is from Old English 'macian' (to make). So a newsmaker is literally a maker of new things — someone who creates headlines. The same roots give us 'newspaper' and 'matchmaker'.
